Employee Portrait

Hans Büsser, Water Treatment Manager

Hans Büsser originally trained in construction work and joined the Swisspearl team in 2007. He currently oversees the Niederurnen plant’s internal water filtration system, which ensures that wastewater can be purified and reused in an ongoing circuit. His systems-thinking skills and his interest in a sustainable approach to nature are also at the center of his chief hobby: tending a small vineyard in the foothills of the Glarus Alps.

As an experienced gardener, Hans was already familiar with the cyclical patterns of cultivating the land. After helping some friends “in the vines” he, too, was hooked on grape-growing, and soon arranged to take over his own plot.

“The view from the southern slope is fantastic. I’m out here in the vines every year and I always see something new. And at the end you have the harvest. The grapes are their own reward!”
